The day after

Mason's surgery got finished up around midnight last night. We had to decide which surgery to do...the surgeon left it up to us and after praying we decided to elect for the surgery instead if a procedure where she would allow a hole for draining off the infection. With this it might would have been that he had to have the other surgery in a few days. After some waiting we found out it was good news...they only had to remove under an inch of the small intestine which had 3 perforations. Everything was meconium stained in his belly and they were able to clean that up. There were some other questionable areas but she was pretty certain that they were ok but just meconium stained because they felt ok. He did have some difficulty last night at one point because the vent tube had gotten moved and caused the top of his right lung to collapse. Everything else today has been pretty good. His blood pressure has been a little low so they have him on some medicine for that. They have made some changes with the vent and his blood gases are improving. His tummy looks a lot better to me. Hopefully we are improving. I think that is all for now. Thank you for your continued prayers... We continue to feel God's overwhelming presence and His peace during these difficult times.
